Registration is now open for the 4th Iceland Geothermal Conference (IGC) will be hosted in Harpa, Reykjavik in April 2018. The conference offers an in-depth discussion of the challenges in development of the geothermal sector. It also focuses on the business environment built on three separate themes: vision, development, and operations.

This conference in 2018 offers science trips to nearby geothermal areas and easy access to Icelandic geothermal experts. IGC historically offers quality lectures presented by carefully selected speakers from around the world. This conference is the home for networking where buyers and sellers get the opportunity to form new relationships that could lead to new business opportunities. The founders of IGC are familiar of the fact that networking is the key to any good conference.

Past IGCs have been a success, with an average of 700 participants each year. IGC is a nonprofit event sponsored by the Iceland Geothermal Cluster Initiative. The conference was set up as an international platform for the geothermal industry and project developers, to gather and share views on how to improve the business environment for geothermal projects.
